[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 176307, member: 1498"] They likely won't allow him to take medications. They will have him and his medical records evaluated by a doctor who will then prescribe what that doctor thinks is needed. It may be different medications completely or different drugs within the same class of drugs. Cost is a factor. I have heard of people not getting needed medications for days after being incarcerated and then, once they got medications, they were different from what was being taken before. Abrupt withdrawal from psychotropics can be a problem. [/QUOTE]
